Kurram Peace Deal Bunkers Demolished Arms Collected

Kurram Peace Deal Bunkers Demolished Arms Collected

Under the agreement signed in a jirga, all bunkers will be demolished within 15 days. All types of arms will be collected and handed over to the government.

The situation will likely be returned to normalcy after the handing over of arms and the demolition of bunkers.

After the peace deal for normalization in Kurram, sit-ins continue in the Parachinar and Baggan area of the Lower Kurram region.

The participants of the Prachinar sit-in demanded that the government ensure security by opening all roads including the main highway.

While the participants of the Baggan sit-in insisted that they would not end the protest until handing over all arms and demolition of bunkers. Protesters also demanded compensation for the shops and homes destroyed in Baggan Bazaar.

The three-week-long Grand Jirga convened to address the unrest in Kurram was successfully concluded with both parties signing an agreement.

Jirga members emphasized that both parties are bound to implement the decisions of the Apex Committee.

A 16-member committee, comprising representatives from both sides, will be formed to oversee the process. Additionally, a plan will be devised under government supervision to collect weapons.

A member of Jirga Abdullah Khan said that bunkers and fortifications from Teri Mangal to Chehri will be dismantled. All roads and routes, including the Tal-Parachinar Road, will be reopened for public use.
